 Anti-Virus Software

Antivirus software is a type of utility used for scanning and removing viruses from your computer.
While many types of antivirus (or "anti-virus") programs exist, their primary purpose is to protect
computers from viruses and remove any viruses that are found.

A computer virus is a malicious piece of computer code designed to spread from device to device.
A subset of malware, these self-copying threats are usually designed to damage a device or steal
data.
Think of a biological virus – the kind that makes you sick. It’s persistently nasty, keeps you from
functioning normally, and often requires something powerful to get rid of it. A computer virus is
very similar. Designed to replicate relentlessly, computer viruses infect your programs and files,
alter the way your computer operates or stop it from working altogether.
While you may think that your computer is safe as long as you don't visit sketchy
websites, hackers have much more ways of getting their viruses on your computers,
which is why you need a robust antivirus to stay one step ahead of them.

If a virus were to get onto your computer, the consequences could be deadly. Viruses can lead to a
host of malicious activity. They can crash your device, spy on you through your webcam or by
monitoring your personal accounts.

Hackers can use viruses to steal your personal information, ranging from account logins to financial
information. This can then be used to carry out identity theft, phishing scams, and more. These
potential consequences are why network protection is more important now than ever before.

Some Symptoms of Virus

• Program takes longer to load.

• The program size keeps changing.
• The drive light keeps flashing when you are not doing anything.
• User created files have strange names.
• The computer doesn't remember CMOS settings.

Prevention Working Mechanisms

Antivirus software usually works on one of two principles: Either it scans programs and files as
they enter your device and compares them to known viruses, or it scans programs already on your
device, looking for any suspicious behavior. In addition, most antivirus software features tools to
either remove or quarantine the offending malware.

As the name indicates, antivirus software is software designed to combat viruses. It does that
through a three-part system:

• Searching for viruses

• Detecting viruses
• Removing viruses
An antivirus software works by scanning incoming files or code that's being passed through your
network traffic. Companies who build this software compile an extensive database of already known
viruses and malware and teach the software how to detect, flag, and remove them.

When files, programs, and applications are flowing in and out of your computer, the antivirus
compares them to its database to find matches. Matches that are similar or identical to the database
are isolated, scanned, and removed.

While you can adjust settings so that your antivirus runs automatic scans of your computer for
malicious files, you can also opt-in to manual scans, which let you sit and see in real-time which
malicious files were found and neutralized.

Some antivirus software will ask for your permission before "cleaning" a file to remove malicious
code. If you prefer a hands-off approach, you can adjust the settings so the software automatically
removes malicious files.

Most antivirus software performs the same functions, so choosing between one brand and another
shouldn't be that complex of a decision.
